Moving to Reno?

When you think of Reno, you may think of a mini Las Vegas, but there is more to Reno than the lights and glitz; people actually live there. If you are moving to Reno because of work, or any other reason, but aren’t familiar with the area, you will be happy to know there is more to this town than casinos and all-you-can-eat buffets. Not far from Reno is Lake Tahoe, where you can enjoy the great outdoors. Inside Reno there are several parks, an art museum, ghost trails, an ice rink, and other things to do.

If you have found a home, and you need your electricity and gas hooked up, you will want to contact Sierra Pacific Power Company. If you haven’t found a home, but are searching, there are many types of residential real estate for sale in Reno. You will want to narrow your search by looking for family housing, student housing, multi-unit housing, or a vacation home.

Family Housing:

If you are moving to Reno because you have found a job there, you might want to rent for a month or so before you buy a home. This will give you time to get familiar with the area and find a neighborhood you like.

Student Housing—The University of Nevada:

Reno isn’t only for families; it is also home to many students that attend the University of Nevada. Students who don’t want to rent or live on campus may be looking for a home for sale in Reno. Students may also be interested in apartments, duplexes, and other types of multi-unit housing.

Multi-unit housing:

Reno has several types of multi-unit housing near the action, or on the edge of town, depending on what you like. If you aren’t familiar with Reno, try using a real estate agent. They will be able to show you multi-unit housing in areas that would be best for your circumstances. They make their money when they sell a unit. If they help sell an apartment they get their money from the apartment owner. Many people use multi-unit housing as an investment. For example, someone who owns a duplex may live in one of the units and rent out the other unit. Because of this, you may have to drive around and look for “for sale” and “for rent” signs, or look in the newspaper.
